An increase in the pace at which sea levels are rising threatens “a mass exodus of entire populations on a biblical scale” and whole nations could be drowned under the waves, the UN Secretary General has warned.
Scientists are scrambling to explain why the continent of Antarctica has shown Net Zero warming for at least the last seven decades, writes Daily Sceptic Environment Editor, Chris Morrison.
The Mirror is the latest newspaper to regurgitate the climate agitprop of Climate Central, making ludicrous claims about the rate at which sea levels will rise and submerge England.
Whisper it quietly, but the Greenland ice sheet may have made a net gain in size in the year to August 2022 after another year of massive winter gains and a short summer of ice loss.
The BBC has claimed that sea levels could rise by a metre by 2100. In fact, at the current rate the rise would be around just 10cm – and most of that would be subsidence, not meltwater.
Arctic sea ice has increased since 2012 and is now close to the average for 1991-2000 – another inconvenient fact for climate change alarmists, alongside thriving polar bears and more coral on the Great Barrier Reef.
The BBC recently claimed sea levels are rising “much faster” than a century ago. But, as Chris Morrison points out, this relies on cherry-picking the data. In fact, rising sea levels haven't posed a threat for 8,000 years.
